Slashdot flags a local news segment out of Houston:
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office in Conroe paid $300,000 in federal homeland security grant money [for the] ShadowHawk unmanned helicopter. … Michael Buscher, chief executive officer of manufacturer Vanguard Defense Industries, said this is the first local law enforcement agency to buy one of his units. He said they are designed to carry weapons for local law enforcement. "The aircraft has the capability to have a number of different systems on board. Mostly, for law enforcement, we focus on what we call less lethal systems," he said, including Tazers that can send a jolt to a criminal on the ground or a gun that fires bean bags known as a "stun baton."
